US champion Hawaii uni(2022) vs Tsukuba uni(Japan) 1st set men's university volleyball match 2023 

Props to the hawaii teams defence. The amount of insane spikes they were to pick up and then score with a counter was too many times 😮

In 2000 when I was playing volleyball with York University we played against this university. The Japanese players were kind, respectful, and we had a great time. Cool to see them 23 years later.

筑波の無理矢理流れ作ろうとするところ好き

The difference in physicality is insane. I think that the lowest jumper in Hawaii still has a higher spike touch than the highest in Tsukuba. Still close set though

牧サーブの威力増してるね！ サーブも受けてるし成長してる。

First, thank you for uploading such an interesting game！ As other Japanese comments mentioned, the height of the sets from Hawaii equalled its speed, so Tsukuba's blockers didn't seem to catch up. But still, Tsukuba retaliated with their nationally famous attackers. Fans in Japan could feel the game was worth watching, at least being able to know that those attackers are internationally competent😀

Love the audience here. They cheer for both sides when great plays are made. Here to enjoy just the sport and competition, massive respect.

この角度レセプションがすごく綺麗に見えて良い

#s 1 and 6 of Hawaii were the shortest I think with the exception of the libero, but were the best in their team. Their spikes are strong and can jumps high. They move fast too and can block.

11:49から筑波誰もいなくなるの笑った笑笑

ちなみに相手セッターは高校飛び級して大学入ったので17か18歳で現在1年生です。

Cool video. Thanks for filming and posting. I respect the passions on both sides.

面白い対戦ですね。

セットアップの位置高すぎやろ笑笑

15:45えぐ

牧めっちゃ成長してる

めちゃくちゃ貴重な試合ありがとうございます！

Japan’s celebration after every point is insane lol 😂

牧めっちゃパワフルになってない？

16:45 ツーでこの高さはどうしようもない笑

15:53　ブロックいかち〜

牧はめっちゃ通用してるね

ドシャットがエグすぎ

I have seen Hawaii University before and I know they are the best university volleyball team in America, and I’m pretty excited to see this match. Edit: I didn’t realize that Maki is at Tsukuba University

14:04

8:47 was clearly in, good serve.

ハワイ大学の20番のジャンプサーブがえぐいw

Japan setter`s wrist and non-telegraphing of sets is next level good.

15:55ばけもん

number 21 for japan is massive, hes double the size of his team mates

Minor correction/clarification: I'm not sure what the rankings are going into 2024, but Hawaii actually lost to UCLA, 3-1, in the 2023 National Championship finals so Hawaii is technically ranked #2

15:54どえらい、、

控えまでみんな牧選手くらいデカくてすげえ、、！！！ 筑波強かったけど、なんで最後そうなっちゃった？！ あと一歩！！歩輝！！

これありがとう

ハワイ大のセッターこれで17歳なのやばすぎて草

15:45 pretty sick

great match

概要欄の説明ありがとうございます。

4:51 the little split step is so cute

The way they run off the court after every kill is more entertaining than it should be

20:41 very strange and rare to see a top-tier college setter make that bad of a double-hit!

15:55 日本人でこれできるの石川祐希くらいか。 あと相手Sのセットアップの位置が高すぎる

15:47 なんやねんこのブロックの高さばぐってる

相手えぐい

ハワイ大のリベロ上手い

who's tsukuba's #21? he's a a lot physically larger than what im used to from japan pin hitters

The block at 15:47 ⚡️⚡️⚡️

早稲田とやって欲しいなあ

How tall is number 21 for Tsukuba? He legit looks 7 feet tall.

ラリーや垂水がいた時とやったらどこまで通用すんのかな

牧のサーブやばすぎだろ 何回ブレイクしたよ

without jacob thelle and dimitrius, hawaii is struggling a bit.

ハワイ大学の1番と6番のジャンプ力すご！ 17:07ハワイ大学の6番のブロックえぐ。

15:30 common Chaz Galloway W

Some of the calls made by the officials like block touch and out are horrible. Honestly it just made me think that they were in Japan’s favour.

やっぱ海外は高さが違うな

15:47 though!!💯😲

ハワイ大高すぎだろw

13:53 あはははー笑っちゃうくらいすごい

Hawaii wasnt the US champion last year, UCLA was.

ハワイの6番えぐいなぁ

8:40 こりゃ酷い

No.8 in Hawai is Japanese American?

15:40

12:20のラリーが面白い

牧背筋ついてきた？

床掃除のちびっこ草

ハワイ大学って日本でいうとどこ大くらいの感じなんでしょうか？ 代表とするなら今年は早稲田ですが…。

牧みたいなサイズのやつがセッターやるって高校生の自分からしたらありえなすぎる笑

海外同士の試合見ると粗さが見えるから日本のほうがレベル高いかなとか思ってたけど高さと急速えぐくてほぼほぼふっ飛ばされてるなw

審判少し筑波よりやね

仕事早

The US team's setter (13) is much more skillful than that of the Japanese team's (19) who is rather monotonous in his sets and is weak in defence, in my opinion.

❤

8:45 i think thats in

高いって強いね

Personally, i think pound for pound Tsukuba is better but Hawaii has more height and power overall.

これ主審副審を覗いた審判団の人達素人？

筑波の15って砂川くん？

全部ツーで決まりそうなんよなw

プナホ高校となら高校生の時にしたよ

コメ欄の奴ら何分何秒～っていう説明全員ズレてんの草

セッターが牧ぐらい身長あるやん

砂川何者でもなくなったね

なんで牧もレセプション入ってるの？

なんで筑波クイック使わないんだろ

日本チーム点が入ったらなんでこんなに走ってるの？

何か柳田チビになってるw

柳田はブロック見えてないんかな？

Hawaii's setter is bad overall. He's slow and can't really move that quick. His defense is almost non-existent. lol He's just tall. That's all. And he's a setter which really doesn't mean much since I'm sure Hawaii can find a better setter. Japan's setter is quick and has amazing hands. ON top of that, his defense and set choices are deceiving.

柳田ブロックに打ちすぎやろ

なんで筑波がこんな外国のチームと試合してるんですか？

アメリカはバスケやアメフトに高身長フィジカルお化けがいくけどそれでも強いなぁ

anyone know why theyre playing each other? never thought id see hawaii playing outside of the US
